This article focuses on the strategic importance of the roles of African American and White women in establishing the Good Samaritan Hospital in 1891 and on the groups' interracial cooperation in maintaining the hospital. Given the social and physical segregation of the South at that time, the two groups worked on parallel planes without acknowledging each other's efforts.
